[*]The footage posted to Facebook has been liked and shared thousands of times[*]It shows the distraught woman sobbing as her instructor shouts abuse at her[*]She cries uncontrollably and is reduced to a quivering wreck in disturbing clip [*]British Army is now trying to track down the abusive corporal who could be fired

The training is tough in the forces to prepare the recruits for situations they might find themselves in and to root out those who aren't fitted for such a job. This kind of thing has and is happening to male recruits all the time.This was filmed purely because it was a female apparently failing. I have no problem with the way the corporal seems to operate after all an enemy is going to do a lot more than shout at you, filming it and putting it out there is what should get him into trouble.

You do have a way with words sometimes... most amusing!

Green from me!

If she can't take that, how the hell would she manage on an actual battlefield?

The corporal was actually trying to help her, you can tell, but she's clearly not cut out for the military ... she's in way over her head.
